No Man Is An Island and John Donne's concept that man is a social being, that he needs the contact and interactions with others, that when he is in an isolated state, he does badly. Community is truly needed to thrive. It is now 13 October 2020, and we are in the midst of a great pandemic from the CoronaVirus COVID-19. Everyone in the world, or most everyone has been isolated from others, told to not go to work to stay at home, and we are starting to see the effects that Mr. Donne alluded to in his book of prose. Truly, No man is an island, for when there is one death from this virus, it is a great loss to all of humankind. Mr. Donne was truly brilliant in his work.
